number then consists of the trunk code allocated to the numbering
area corresponding to the home area of the mobile station followed
by the subscriber number allocated to it.

of the trunk code allocated to the PLMN and the subscriber number
within the PLMN.

An earth station in the fixed satellite service or, in some
cases, in the aeronautical mobile-satellite service, located at a
specified fixed point on land to provide a feeder link for the
aeronautical mobile-satellite service (see Radio Regulations, Arti-
cle 1).
8406 aircraft earth station (AES)
F: station terrrienne d'aeronef (STA)
S: estacion terrena de aeronave
A mobile earth station in the aeronautical mobile-satellite
service located on board an aircraft (see Radio Regulations, Arti-

8415 coast earth station (CES)
F: station terrienne c | tiere (STC)
S: estacion terrena costera (ETC)
An earth station operating in the fixed satellite service fre-
quency bands or, in some cases, in the maritime mobile-satellite

(see also Radio Regulations, Article 1).
8416 ship earth station (SES)
F: station terrienne de navire (STN)

(CCMS)
S: centro de conmutacion del servicio movil por satelite
(CCMS)
Indicates the signalling interworking point between the fixed
networks and the mobile satellite system which works to a single
ocean area. The MSSC may be located at the antenna site of the
aeronautical ground earth station or coast earth station, in which
case it may operate as an independent international switching cen-
tre (ISC) connected to one or more ISCs, on national switching cen-
tres. It may also be located remotely from the antenna site, as a
supplement to, or a part of an ISC. The term MSSC may also indicate
a maritime satellite switching centre, with an identical functional
definition to the above.
